Lviv’s wooded Pohulianka Park is a favorite relaxation spot for city residents. It is located in southeast Lviv between Pasichna, Washington and Zelena Streets, and the Lychakiv Cemetery. In the 17^th and 18^th centuries farms were located on the territory which lay just outside the city limits; by the beginning of the 19^th century it had come under the ownership of the attorney Franciszek Węgliński, and was later owned by restaurateur Johann Diestl and brewer Johann Klein. The area was designated as a forested public park in 1940, its woods are predominantly beech and hornbeam.

Svobody Boulevard (prospekt Svobody) is the main street of Lviv. From the mid-nineteenth century it consisted of two streets, known as Untere/Obere Karl Ludwig Straße or, in Polish, Karola Ludwika wyższa/niższa (“Lower/Upper Karl Ludwig Street”). In 1871 the Obere Karl Ludwig Straße was renamed Hetmańska, in honor of the Great Crown Hetman Stanisław Jabłonowski, whose monument had been erected there in 1859. Obere Karl Ludwig Straße became simply Karl Ludwig Straße/Karola Ludwika, until 1919, when it was renamed Legionów (“Legions”). The bed of the river Poltva was driven underground in 1887, under supervision of engineer Wacław Ibański. In 1940 Hetmańska nad Legionów Streets became part of the single Pershoho Travnia (“First of May”) Street. In 1941 the street was first divided into Opernstrasse and Museumstrasse, and later joined under the name of Adolf Hitler Platz/Ring. In 1944 the street's name went back to Pershoho Travnia. Later it was renamed Lenina Boulevard. In 1991 it was renamed Svobody Boulevard.

Building of the former City School of St. Mary Magdalene (1883-1884, additional construction 1909-1910; architect Juliusz Hochberger, Director of the City Construction Administration together with the Architectural Bureau of the Lviv City Council). Historicism (medievalising architectural forms). The façades, laid with unplastered red brick, were augmented with high Gothic frontons, Romanesque archvolts, and rosettes. The internal layout is based on hallways. The School of St. Mary Magdalene started as one of the city's general education schools, providing instruction mostly to students from the Kastelivka / Bajki district. As of today (2009) the object is still in use as a school building.
